Summary

This week, Jake and Bob spend time with an old friend, Christopher West. They reminisce about their spiritual history with each other, and Christopher gets real about his own journey of healing from rejection wounds. Christopher is well known as ‘the Theology of the Body guy,’ but after nine years of hiding his own brokenness behind masks in his marriage, he was confronted with the reality that he was living out his brokenness with his wife. Christopher walks us through his testimony of learning to take off the masks to let God love him.

Guiding Quote:

“For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.” - 1 Cor 1:17

Key points:

Christopher, Jake and Bob talk about their friendship and how they first met
How Christopher’s wounds of rejection created a blindspot that prevented him from loving his wife well in their first decade of marriage
How wounds of rejection can affect identity
We have to go into our family history to understanding our wounds
The ‘archaeological dig’ into our own wounds must be done with Christ
Our wounds play out in the marriage bed
We can show up as we are because we’re loved by God

Practical Application:

What is your spiritual legacy? Who has shared the faith with you and is your spiritual father or grandfather?
Where have you experienced rejection wounds? Pray over those areas to ask God to heal those wounds.
Reflect on how God has worked in your history to bring you to where you are today.
